  • Carbide roughing tools before PCD finishing
  • Custom PCD tools for combined operations

Buyer questions before tool selection

  • What aluminum grade or casting material are you machining?
  • What surface finish and tolerance are required?
  • Is the operation turning, milling, drilling, boring or reaming?
  • What is the current tool life and finish problem?
  • Do you need samples first or repeat supply planning?

Useful information for quotation

  • Material grade and silicon content if known
  • Current tool model or drawing
  • Cutting parameters and machine spindle speed
  • Surface finish target and tolerance
  • Estimated quantity and delivery request

If some details are not available yet, send the information you have first. We can help identify what should be confirmed next.
